Developers sometimes mistakenly run 'make test' instead of 'make check'. 'make test' triggers the ancient, unmaintained tcg unit tests in tests/tcg/Makefile which have long since ceased compiling.
Even if someone fixes the TCG tests, it makes little sense to put them in a 'make test' target, rather they should be 'make check-tcg', possibly wired up as a dependency of 'make check'. In the meantime, this patch disarms the 'make test' trap by turning it into a synonym for 'make check'. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
